Losing money, mygo, what does it mean that I really lost money?

"This game project, at most, has a lifespan of only two or three months. A two-week term is enough. You can't broadcast the same game forever, right? The popularity of the group broadcast will be about over after two months. After that, we can just log in occasionally to check it out."

"Can't you play one game for a lifetime?"

Gao Songdeng looked somewhat regretful upon hearing this.

What we need now is instability and short-livedness.

The shared home system is definitely doomed to fail. If it actually succeeds, it'll be like the finale of a TV series; the live stream will only be lively for a few days before nobody watches anymore.

What people want to see is virtual YouTubers staging amazing feats in games, like the anti-shogunate movement, the reverence for the emperor and the expulsion of foreigners, and the bankruptcy of the shared home system, not what the virtual YouTubers actually build in the game.

Ultimately, the focus for virtual YouTubers should remain on music and bands; playing games is merely a way to build popularity. Once they've built up a large following, they'll perform as first-generation 3D models and monetize their popularity.

Jin Zhaozhi summarized it as follows:

"In short, everyone can familiarize themselves with the game first, but don't try to imitate it too closely. You can practice while streaming, giving the viewers in the chat a sense of successful guidance. The viewers' hobby is guiding you in playing the game, so it's okay if they get angry, don't be afraid."

Although Momoka Kawahara doesn't know how to de-stress, she understands the marketing methods. As expected of President Ima, her money-making methods are at least 5 years more advanced than the industry average, and she even has a touch of dark psychology.

She rubbed her chin. "Will the second generation members and Ps*Ple come too?"

"Ps*Ple will. As for the second generation members, since they haven't debuted yet, let's just let them appear as villains at the end for now. We'll start the second round of MC group broadcasts after the second generation members debut."

"Oh, I get it. It's like the ending of a movie, where they give clues about a sequel, right?" Momoka Kawara completely understood.

Arale Nakamachi seemed distracted and didn't listen much.

Because she had already gotten firsthand information from Jin Zhaozhi and had been playing the game for many days. And even if she didn't know how to play, it wouldn't matter; she could just mute herself during the live stream and ask later.

Perhaps this is the leisure that comes with being a "victor".

As the golden-haired girl thought about it, she began to feel quite pleased with herself.

On the other side, the cat-and-dog duo, Meow Dream and Chihaya Aine, who are known by fans as the "cat and dog duo," have already huddled together and are whispering about the content of their upcoming group broadcast.

"The first generation village chief will receive resources from the agency as a reward, and the script also says that someone from the first generation needs to propose the concept of a shared home... I want to ride this wave of popularity and become the initiator. Ai-yin, please support me. After it's done, all I want is the popularity, and the first generation can be yours."

"I want to be a queen too..." Chihaya Aine hesitated.

Miaomengqin put it another way:

"Then let's team up and ride the wave of popularity; all I care about is the traffic." Si

"Okay, nice to work with."

Meow Dream and Chihaya Aine reached a friendly, private agreement. (Four)

Chihaya Aine wants to support Nyanmuchi to become the first-generation leader of the shared home, while Nyanmuchi has come up with a good idea that needs to be shared with Chihaya Aine to generate buzz.

Although none of them had any revenue pressure, they were content just to play in the band with the first generation members and maintain the status quo. However, if it came to earning money for President Jin from the fans, they were still willing to put in some effort, at least to see who was the revenue king among the first generation members.

Judging from the current situation, Chihaya Aine and Nyanmu are both at the forefront.

What should we do with the lamb?

"Little Sheep isn't the type to chase after this kind of attention... Besides, ever since the club president installed the game on his computer, she seems to have been playing it non-stop. We might have to ask her for advice later."

The two glanced at Gao Songdeng, who was sitting in front of the computer in the mine.

Compared to virtual streamers like them who crave popularity and attention, Gao Songdeng is a pure gamer, quietly digging for stones and occasionally checking the descriptions of the stones in her inventory.

She was completely immersed in the game world, oblivious to the world around her. After discovering that she could mine stones, she kept mining them, studying each new ore for a long time. She mined a particularly large amount of diorite, and every time she encountered it, she would dig it all up and then study it again.

She let out a penguin hum:

"What is this, diorite?"

"This diorite is so beautiful... and it seems a little different from the diorite we just dug up. Let's collect it and share it with everyone."

......

In the evening, Momoka Kawahara ate dinner and prepared to return to the rehearsal room to begin her debut live stream.

She's the only one from the first generation who hasn't debuted yet; the day she debuts will be the MC collaboration group broadcast.

"Sigh, I never thought that after all this time, I'd still be back to being an idol." Kawara Momoka twirled and played with the hair on her shoulder with her fingers, her feelings hard to describe.

She initially left the band because she couldn't accept their transformation into an idol group.

At the time, Momoka Kawahara wore a gold group outfit once, trying to act cute like an idol on stage, but she immediately messed it up and couldn't accept it. Whether it was to look cool or for her teammates who were still active, she left the copyright of "Sora no Hako" to them and left peacefully.

Now she's going to be an idol again, which is a bit of a dilemma...

Well, that little problem was solved after I saw my phone balance.

Moreover, she definitely wouldn't accept a traditional idol style like Ps*Ple.

The first generation members have their own style setters, so they're definitely more band-oriented, which is acceptable. They just can't act as outrageously as rock musicians; they need to restrain themselves like their idols.

"Even if I die, I will never act cute like other little girls." Kawara Momoka thought to herself, "Anyway, I'll just be a detached music streamer, whether the fans watch or not is up to them. I'm already 20 years old, how can I act cute like them?"

She has decided that she won't try too hard to become a teen idol. Unless Jin Zhaozhi requests a collaboration, she'll only reluctantly participate; otherwise, it's out of the question.

If I drink alcohol myself, I'll definitely be able to drive away those annoying idol fans, right?

Upon arriving at the rehearsal room, Momoka Kawahara found everyone waiting for her. "Why are you looking at me like that? It's just a debut live stream, aren't you guys going home?"

"Everyone's been driving you traffic, we want to see Miss Momoka act cute."

Chihaya Aine is showing off her phone.

[Sakuraba Aine's Official account released a new update]

[Next week's live stream preview! !] Alcohol

[Tonight is the debut of the Leo with a soft belly, everyone remember to watch! Then there's the Minecraft 1st Generation collaboration episode, I'll have a blast playing the game with everyone from the 1st Generation, woohoooo ...

[Comments (79) Likes (864)]

Momoka Kawahara sensed something was wrong. "You guys all posted this? Was it really necessary?"

Chihaya Aine patted her chest and assured everyone, "Everyone's already won! We all say you're the cutest senior among the first generation, and we guarantee you'll still be cute even if you drink. Momoka-san, don't worry, drink up!"

Main text:

Is the live-streamed confession in Chapters 72 and 69 part of E-Company's underlying logic? (4189 words)

"Are you all my fans?"

Kawara Momoka looked around.

The other four members of the first generation were all there, and Izare Rina was probably also online in the live stream. She bared her teeth like a cat hissing, "Then you all tell me, what do you like most about me? There's no reward for answering correctly, and there's a punishment for answering incorrectly."

"Cute?" Chihaya Aine probed.

"Cute, reliable, and the core of the team," Miaomeng affirmed.

Momoka Kawara waved her hand: "A bunch of kids shouldn't call adults cute, it's very impolite. But I really like the title of core member of the Little Meow Dream team, it's similar to the absolute core member of the second generation."

Imaizumi kept saying, "Toyokawa Shoko is the absolute core of our second generation," just to make her feel the support. The first generation also knew this.

By now, Toyokawa Shoko herself has begun to believe and be confident, working hard every day to write songs for him, and comforting herself by saying that this is the absolute core's responsibility.

Takamatsu thought for a moment: "Interesting, gentle, reliable."

Arale Nakamachi also said, "She seems to have a very gentle personality and is easy to get along with."

As for reliability? I feel it's not as reliable as the current president's.

Momoka Kawaraki nodded, not at all embarrassed, and accepted it all. She also felt that this was how her first-generation teammates saw her. After chatting with the first-generation members for a few minutes, they said goodbye to Momoka Kawaraki with smiles, all saying they would support her by posting their singles in the comments.

Arale Nakamachi bent down and whispered to Teruyuki Imai, "Manager, I'll head back now. It seems Hanasakigawa's school uniform was only shipped this afternoon, so I'll take care of it when I get back."

Jin Zhao nodded and said goodbye to her.

He had to stay in the rehearsal room, essentially working the night shift with Momoka Kawaragi.

Ordinary houses have poor sound insulation, so to avoid disturbing Iori Jinna, Kawara Momoka arranged for the two to rehearse in the studio for the broadcast. As the producer, he was required to monitor the proceedings on-site, as is customary.

If Momoka Kawahara gets drunk and says something, he can end the stream early.

As the group left in twos and threes, Momoka Kawaharaki was clutching her blue and white guitar, her toes, encased in black stockings, fidgeting under the table as if searching for something. Finally, she pressed a button on the effects pedal under the table. She scanned it; the string sound was quite good.

She put the guitar aside and looked at Jin Zhaozhi, "And you? What do you like about me?"

"Is there something else about me?" Jin Zhaozhi asked, somewhat surprised.

"I was the person you personally selected, wasn't I?"

Momoka Kawahara said, "I was originally planning to pack my things and leave Kawasaki, but I suddenly received a call from the agency while I was drinking at night. I thought I was dreaming, so I vaguely refused. But it happened every night. I thought I was just someone who dreamed every time I got drunk."

"Well, if I had to say what I admire most about you..."

After a moment of contemplation, Kawahara Momoka immediately turned to listen.

He said, "Without a doubt, it's your music."

"Otokura? Then I'm the same as you, I also like my SN music." →〈￠≠

Kawara Momoka chuckled, completely disregarding the fact that others would be using the computer later. She casually placed her legs on the table, propped her face up with the back of her hand, and wore a light smile.

“We musicians may never meet someone who appreciates us in our entire lives. Compared to those unfortunate people, I am already very lucky.”

Kawara Momoka's tone was straightforward, but her emotions were anything but indifferent.

Her gaze fell on her guitar. "Thank you. It's a privilege and a blessing to be trusted, and I will cherish it and repay you in the best way possible. I'll stake my entire music career on it."

"I'm a second-rate musician, and I'm trusted so much. If I didn't work as hard as that girl from the second generation, I would feel guilty. There's a voice in my head that keeps telling me to live up to your expectations."

Unlike her usual lively self.

Now, the tranquil riverside momoka, as calm as a lake, has finally acquired some alluring qualities.

"It would be even better if you paid more attention to your appearance."

"Anyway, there's no one else here, so my idol image won't be affected."

Momoka Kawahara broke down in an instant, waving her hand with a grin, "Besides, I have my reasons for drinking. While interest is one aspect, the main reason is actually for the persona you mentioned."

She said, "I don't want to be seen as an idol. I hope that the fans of the first generation can focus more on my songs and not compete with them for the idol's job. That's just who I am, I can't be an idol like that."

Imaizumi nodded: "I completely agree. This is the condition I told you from the beginning, and it hasn't changed until now, and it will remain so in the future. As for the first generation members and your style, you can decide for yourself."

"Why don't you object a little bit too...?"

Hearing this, Momoka Kawahara glanced at her, then put her legs down from the computer desk. "Fine, as long as you don't mind. Let's start the broadcast!"

She rummaged through her bag for a moment and found an old Diamond Star album. She casually signed a few words on it, circled a heart that idols would sign, and handed it to Jin Zhaozhi.

"By the way, a fan perk. Those that don't sell have great potential for appreciation in the future."

......

In Mengmengxiang's live stream room.

"I'm a first-generation member of ExElio agency, Shishigami Momoka. Just call me Momoka, it's really sorry to use such a name for an older sister character. I'm in charge of lead guitar and arrangement for the first generation, and I also write some lyrics, that's all."

The cat-eared avatar, with one hand on its hip, introduced itself in a lazy voice, "...I like people who can appreciate my music. I hope you are too."

Unlike the other first-generation members who exude youth and vibrancy, Momoka Kawaragi, though also young, seems to have taken a completely different path with her languid voice.

The atmosphere in the live stream was incredibly lively:

[She's my older sister, I love her so much! Ah, I'm dying!]

【Mom! Mom! Don't you want the puppy anymore?】sOsＯ:就肆≌8≯〓←三伍

[They're finally here, the last generation of members!]

[I thought she was a bassist, but she's a guitarist too? I heard Arale Nakamachi is also learning bass. According to the official formula, the second generation members are supposed to be dual guitarists plus bassist and vocalist. Why is ExElio agency so fond of bassist vocalists?]

[Maybe the bassist was completely unremarkable, so the lead vocalist had to fill in the gaps. lol]

"Huh? The bassist is very important, don't talk nonsense."

Momoka Kawara glanced at the comments and immediately disagreed, "The bass is very important, it can't be carried by the drummer alone. I can't listen to songs where the bass isn't clearly audible. As for those calling me 'Mom'... go home, don't say such disgusting things to me."

Momoka Kawahara clearly has no experience of being called "Mom" on the internet.

Otherwise, she should know that the best thing for the streamer to do is simply ignore these kinds of comments that seem to trigger a reaction.

Her current, albeit not-so-harsh, denial will only fuel the anger in the live stream, and soon there will be countless posts about her mother's illness.

Soon, the 20-year-old over-aged band member, Momoka Kawaragi, discovered that a large number of mysterious people in her live stream were calling her "Mom Momoka," which was more like calling her "Big Sister"!

The way she gripped the water glass made a squeaking sound, indicating she was using considerable force.

Just as Momoka Kawahara was about to say something more, Teruyuki Imai gestured for her to skip the topic. The comments were all rebellious; if the streamer told you not to do something, you'd do it anyway! Just ignore it.
